BuzzFeed News asked these anti-independence demonstrators why they are saying “naw” to this week’s Scottish independence referendum.
Anti-Scottish-independence campaigners held a rally on Monday evening in London's Trafalgar Square, with thousands of people gathering to express their hope that the United Kingdom would remain United.

BuzzFeed News spoke to many of the rally's attendees, who ranged from Scottish to English and all other kinds of British.

The crowd included many Scottish people currently living and working in London. While some were registered to vote in Thursday's referendum, many are not able to take part.

"I'm very pissed off about not being allowed to vote," said one young Scottish woman, who works in PR and, in the spirit of PR, did not want to give her name. "And that's me being polite about it."
Another anonymous Scot agreed, saying the referendum was "the first bit of democracy I've heard of where I don't get to vote".
